             Summary: Add support for custom Java Security Providers in configuration
                 Key: KAFKA-4406
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4406
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1
            Reporter: Magnus Reftel
            Priority: Minor


Currently, the only way to add a custom security provider is though adding a -Djava.security.properties=<filename> option to the command line, e.g. though KAFKA_OPTS. It would be more convenient if this could be done though the config file, like all the other SSL related options.
I propose adding a new configuration option, ssl.provider.classes, which holds a list of names of security provider classes that will be loaded, instantiated, and added before creating SSL contexts.
